Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Delorean have been playing traditional heavy metal since 2017, drawing on the college town's fertile music scene. Named after the iconic time-traveling car, the band channels the sounds of metal's classic era — sturdy riffs, melodic hooks, and the kind of earnest commitment to the genre that never goes out of style.
Bangor, Maine's Delph have been crafting stoner doom since 2017, their sound shaped by the long winters and isolated wilderness of northern New England. The band blends fuzz-heavy stoner grooves with doom metal's glacial pacing, producing music that feels as unhurried and inevitable as the Maine landscape itself.

Shelton, Connecticut's Delta Protocol arrived in 2020 merging deathcore's rhythmic devastation with death metal's compositional darkness. The band draws on Connecticut's small but dedicated extreme metal underground, building music that is systematic in its brutality — breakdowns deployed like weapons within a framework of genuine death metal menace.
